Hi all,

I'm renovating my basement and am about to lay the subfloor. I'm tiling one room and carpeting the other, the question I have is regarding the finished height between the two. If I lay the subfloor at the same height between the two spaces and the tile is roughly 1/2" (3/8" plus 1/8" for thinset), will a finished carpet/pad height of roughly 1" be too high? Will there be a pronounced "hump" in the carpet, or will the carpet tuck nicely into the transition strip with no issue?

The reason I ask is I'm trying to avoid bringing the subfloor of the tiled space up to make up the height difference. I'd rather have the subfloor height be consistent arcoss the finished space if possible.

Thanks all!
